1/4 ts powdered ginger
3/4 ts sugar
1 bouillon cube
1/2 c boiling water
1 c milt
2 c shrimp meat
-cooked
1 ts lemon juice

Instructions

1.)Saut, onion in butter in top of a double boiler. Stir in flour, all the seasonings and sugar.
2.)Add bouillon, dissolved in the boiling water.
3.)Add milk.
4.) Cook over boiling water, stirring until smooth and thick.

Notes: When I made this, I didn’t cook over boiling water, just watched and
stirred in my skillet.

I’m going to give you my family’s recipe for the best curry powder you’ll ever taste. The shrimp don’t matter, just use the shrimp you like the most. I usually use large size shrimp, they’re not too big and not soo small and are able to absorb the curry flavor.

And I don’t use veggies in my recipe.

Curry Powder Recipe
4 tblsp. dried coriander

2 tblsp. ground turmeric

1 ½ tsp. ground cumin

1 ½ tsp. ground fenugreek

1 ½ tsp. ground black peppercorns

1 ½ tsp. ground poppy seeds

1 ½ tsp. ground ginger

1 ½ tsp. ground dried chilli

¾ tsp. dried mustard seed

½ tsp. cardamom

All of the seeds are first roasted in a preheated skillet by stirring and shaking the pan constantly. Brown, but do not burn the seeds. When cool, grind in a spice mill or blender (not food processor). Combine with remaining spices. Ground turmeric, which hails from the ginger family, is responsible for the yellow color of curry powder.

Store curry powder in a sealed container.
